Slit roars, scars bunching on his cheeks, eyes wild and wide and absolutely terrifying.
His opponent shrinks back, blood spraying as Slit follows viciously.
Nux throws his arms up, shouts Slit’s glory, sloshing beer over himself and the men pressed tight around him.
No one complains, all caught in the spell that Slit has bound them under.
A body thuds on the hard floor of the cage and Slit howls like an animal, beating his own chest twice with a bloody fist.
The referee gapes by the cage, microphone limp in his hand, blood sprayed on his cheek.
Slit kicks the body on the floor with the toe of his boot, the man rolls over, weakly trying to push at Slit’s leg.
Begging for mercy.
Nux pushes through the crowd, presses himself against the cage and bangs his hands against the metal bars. His head.
“We have a winner,” roars the referee finally into his microphone and the crowd somehow, impossibly becomes even louder.
Slit clambers out of the top of the cage, stands on the metal bars and the crowd chants his name.
Nux loses himself in the chants, sways, body thrashing against the cage, eyes glued to Slit.
Slit’s head whips around, sweat and blood flying, eyes meeting Nux’s straight on.
The world comes to a screeching halt, breath stuck in Nux's throat.
Slit points at him, roars and laughs and Nux points back, skin pulling tight over his skeleton, shivers down his spine.
He wants that blood on his lips.
Cameo video from Josh Helman I got back in december, talking about any backstory he or George Miller may have had for Slit that wasn’t delved into on screen, and hinting at his new role in Furiosa!
